Stuart Haggerty is a 20 year veteran gaffer in the lighting department of the Vancouver film industry.
In many ways his career parallels Vancouver’s film trajectory. Stuart started out working at a local film lighting company and worked his way up the ranks, from best boy to gaffer where he’s travelled the world and worked on such feature films as The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, Godzilla, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and The Big Friendly Giant. He also recently wrapped on two new untitled films with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock respectively.
We talk about Stuart’s journey through film, the relationship between a gaffer a DOP, and how often trial by fire is required to create new and innovative lighting solutions on set.
